R.i.p. Not Barney

The other day we got a knock on the door. Turns out it was Nancy my neighbour. She asked if we had a cat and then gave us some litter and food. Iguess her cat had recently passed away. Her cat was really cool. He would come to the back window and hesh would bat the window with his paw and the other cat would do the same. The fascinating thing to me is that the cat looked like a cat we used to have who passed away a few years ago. Barney was his name. He was a really nice friendly cat who i had for 14 years. He passed when Diana was 2 i think. Diana was convinced that it was Barney the cat that was coming to visit Hesh at the window. She was convinced I was letting Barney live outside.
Nancy's cat was cool. He would get on the top of our fence and leap onto her balcony. Anyhow i don't know why but i teared up a bit. I know what its like to lose a pet and i felt bad for her. I started thinking about Barney to. I started thinking back to when Diana was a baby and she would lay on my chest with Barney and watch Stargate with me. I think we're gonna get her a sympathy card. We're not sure what the cats name was. We thought it was Pickles but it turns out Pickles is another cat in the complex.

Sometimes old people suck

So i was getting yelled at by some 150 year old man today. He asks me my name and then says
"in my day we used to have a poem, Jason hason bring the pason." Really You had that as a saying? Gee why don't you say that anymore. Maybe cause its gayson?

Thank God my stupid day is over.

Headache city

So got home from work not to long ago. What a day filled with some of the stupidest things I've ever heard as well as conspiracy theories and just a bunch of a-holes in general.

So i actually got yelled at for 10 minutes becasue i couldnt tell a guy what time it was in England. Really? He was pissed i didnt have that info available at my finger tips. And that's in my job description how? I'm gonna call my gas company tomorrow and ask when the new Tom Petty cd is coming out. If they don't know i think i will freak out.

Oh yeah a lady called disputing some porn. No one in her house would admit to ordering it. Hmm funny that on the day she left her sons alone for a whole day is when the movies were ordered. Next.


there was the dick that kept screaming in my ear that he wanted me to stop reading from a script. I seriously felt like screaming back "dude i wish i had a script." next

My personal favorite call of the day--a lady who wouldnt let me speak for 20 minutes. Kept repeating to me over and over that she wasnt trying to be rude. Guess what lady? You failed. You were very rude. She was pissed the bill went up a couple of dollars. She asked me: "Who's going to pay you if i die? You're not getting my life insurance." ok. Then she kept repeating "those damn rich people are making us poor people pay." Not sure what she meant there. oh and this gem :"the last rep i spoke to tried to convince me i was crazy. She pretended my phone was clicking." Yup thats what we do convince customers they are out of their mind. They don't need help with that.

I'm tired now. They drained me of all my energy. I'm gonna lay down on the couch and watch some Wiseguy reruns and eat pie. I can't wait to do it all again tomorrow.

What a geektastic Sunday!

So yesterday Kath and i were able to catch an iron man 2 matinee. In one word- Amazing. What a fantastic film. It was just as good as the first. Loved it. I think i need to see it again stat. One of the best super hero films ever.

Following that we went to a new comic book store called pulp comics. What a cool shop. We got to chatting up the owners and Rob made a couple of contacts for us. THe owners will probably come on Get your geek on and theres talk of recording a live remote from the store. Rob may have convinced them to play the train rek station in their store full time as well. Things are looking up. So i was in an awesome mood as we left the store.

The day wasnt over yet, We had burger king for dinner. Gor some new Iron man toys there. Then we got to record our show at 7. We did a phone interview with a lady who makes geek soap. Soap with batman logos and shaped like video game cartridges and stuff like that. She was really nice and said she would send us some samples. we had a few technical difficulties hearing her but Rob being the Macgyver he is was able to re wire the system so we could hear her.

Unfortunaely my good mood came to an end as the day ended and i had to prepare for a day of hell at work Such is life i suppose.

The 40 year old nerd strikes again

Its Friday. My second day off in a row. Kath has had to work early so I've been walking Diana to and from school. I really have to get in shape. I'm probably gonna start dieting again after Diana's birthday next week. Thats where i started last year and then had success. So hopefully i can do it again . Fingers crossed.

I just have to get through tomorrows shift and then i get to See Iron Man 2. I can't wait. We also may check out a new comic book store in the falls. Rumour has it that you can also order food in there and theres an area set up to watch super hero cartoons on a big screen. Geek heaven!

Gonna go and clean up now. Going with Kath and Nickle to grocery shop in the states tonight and get a mothers day present for my mom. I love having my passport. We'll also probably check out burger king out to because they have iron man 2 toys. Its awesome being a 40 year old nerd.

Tuesday

I booked a vacation day today in case i was partied out the night before. I'm glad i did. We took Diana to see a play at her school and she had a really great time. I didnt do much of anything else today. I cleaned a litter box. Cleaning cat poop up is actually more fun then getting yelled at by customers over the phone. I could probably do that for a living with a big smile on my face compared to what i do now.

I heard from my friend Andrea last night. Hoping to catch iron man 2 this weekend. Right now its kind of the only thing getting me through the week. Havent seen Andrea in awhile so it should be cool. I have been counting the days to Iron man 2 since Christmas i think.

So glad i had a quiet day at home with my daughter. Really needed it after yesterdays wonderful shift at work. Can't wait for Kath to get home to watch me some lost and eat me some buffalo wing dip. Have a great night everyone.

The quotable Diana

I'm going to start may off with a quote from my awesome daughter Diana Rose Stewart. While getting fressed today she came up wit this gem

"i'm naked and i'm gonna stay naked forrever. The end."
